Nigel Farage speaks with U.S. Senator John Kennedy. regarding the Labour government's plan to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
Senator Kennedy shares details of his recent discussions with President Donald Trump concerning the strategic implications of the deal. He expresses sharp criticism of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s proposal, arguing that transferring control of the archipelago—home to the critical U.S.-U.K. military base on Diego Garcia—could jeopardize Western security interests and increase Chinese influence in the Indian Ocean.
Senator Kennedy pulls no punches in his assessment of the policy, describing the decision as "dumb" and questioning the long-term strategic logic of the handover.
